Firstly thank you to all those who applied for the Creative Team positions. I will be going through those in the coming week and contacting everyone before the month end.

Secondly I'd like to let you all know of a few changes which will be coming to ARTastic in August (and future months). The August inspiration challenge will go live on the 1st of the month along with inspiration layouts from five of the Creative Team. Winners for July will be announced on the 15th of the month and at this time the inspiration submissions of the remaining Creative Team will be released.

Go away Winter - I want to see uplifting colours that shine on your entry

A little about Carla Blackman

Carla Blackman, originally from Warwick in England,
has travelled the world extensively, but is now a permanent resident of Far
North Queensland, where she has made her home.

Based on the Cairns Northern Beaches, she has been
greatly influenced by the vibrant colours of tropical reef fish, which she
captures brilliantly on her silk originals.

Carla enjoys painting on silk as a medium since it
is well suited to creative expression with bright colours. The vibrancy of the
finished artwork is an appropriate reflection of her tropical environment.

Carla has work in private and corporate collections
throughout the world. Her beautiful silk originals make an outstanding
statement and add a touch of the tropics to any room.

Please upload the DIRECT link
to your actual entry with the link tool on the LEFT by midnight July 31st,
2012. We'd love to see your paper, digital, card and off the page submissions but please
remember we appreciate original entries (you may combine with a
sketch).
